Having a broad interest in many subject areas, I now seek to become as versatile as&amp;nbsp;I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to be a logical step for my&amp;nbsp;studies&amp;nbsp;at your University. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My&amp;nbsp;vision for the future began very early, with a&amp;nbsp;background&amp;nbsp;selling newspapers and other things to my &lt;br /&gt;neighbours as&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;child. However, my real familiarization with Business came later, during&amp;nbsp;summer holidays, when I&amp;nbsp;worked with documentation and contracts as an assistant for&amp;nbsp;a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company&amp;#39;s success is based on&amp;nbsp;being a&amp;nbsp;well-run organization with&amp;nbsp;smart management. I have also participated in&amp;nbsp;seminars and have read books related to business so that I could have a wider viewpoint of this competitive&amp;nbsp;field. Regular reading of The Economist has kept&amp;nbsp;me up-to-date with all the changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign languages, such as English and German, will&amp;nbsp;definitely be useful in my&amp;nbsp;future career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my studies at the gymnasium, I&amp;nbsp;obtained much&amp;nbsp;new knowledge and experience. Participation in the gymnasium&amp;#39;s academic and social life taught me to overcome challenges, to be a team player,&amp;nbsp;and to adapt to any situation. This experience encouraged me to take on new challenges. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my spare time I take part in&amp;nbsp;extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar, taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also&amp;nbsp;played football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania&amp;#39;s National Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who&amp;nbsp;appreciates hard work, is motivated, and enjoys&amp;nbsp;creative challenges.&amp;nbsp;With regards to Business,&amp;nbsp;I think that these three features are the key to success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business studies at a British University have long been my desire. Studies at your University would certainly help&amp;nbsp;to improve my language &lt;br /&gt;and cooperation skills as well as&amp;nbsp;guarantee interaction in a&amp;nbsp;competitive atmosphere.&amp;nbsp;It is no wonder&amp;nbsp;why many international students prefer British Universities, since this country has the finest reputation for higher education around the world. In joining your University&amp;#39;s community, I hope that my personality and hard work will bring some particular distinction to&amp;nbsp;your institution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for considering my application and I am looking forward to your positive reply. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please check my personal statement (motivation letter)</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckPersonalStatementMotivation-Letter/zmbzj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:26:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:476944</guid><dc:creator>jdaniels</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckPersonalStatementMotivation-Letter/zmbzj/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-476944.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello, I wrote this letter for international studies..I&amp;#39;d be very thankful if somebody could correct grammar and style in this letter.
